Does the trigger always work?

Question

Hi all. I am 84 hrs post trigger (used ovidrel 4 nights ago) and I ASSUME I ovulated but I have not experienced my usual post ovulation symptoms - usually my temp goes up on bbt for example and my cervical fluid dries up and my nipples get sore. None are happening yet. We are doing timed intercourse this cycle and wouldn’t mind a night off from going at it but not sure if we can yet....anyone else ovulate with ovidrel and not be able to get? Or NOT ovulate with ovidrel?
Thanks...

Answer

No, it does not. You can do a medical cycle, do trigger, and NOT ovulate. The trigger is supposed to “trigger” ovulation but for many women it does not. I’ve always ovulated with the trigger but my sister also undergo fertility treatment and she did a trigger few times but did not ovulate. So yes very possible to not actually ovulate. Symptoms are usually from progesterone but I even take prescribed progesterone and have had cycles with no symptoms, even with trigger ive had no symptoms. Usually I have cramping and nausea but few times I had nothing. Symptoms can vary, one cycle they can be intense and another have nothing. Did they do follicle check?

Answer

How did they time you to trigger? Did they do monitoring or did they go off your natural lh surge using opks?

Answer

I always have tons of symptoms from ovulation when i am not on meds. When i triggered i had none. I was expecting something and other then feeling beat up from stims i had nothing.

Answer

Ovridrel didn’t give me ovulation symptoms but gave me early pregnancy symptoms (ie NAUSEA SO BADLY). I have never ovulated without the trigger though.
